  • Resumen

  • When it comes to the environment, aviation, fast fashion, and food waste typically join the usual suspects in conversations, but less frequently discussed are the effects of the average laundry routine. So, this week on On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella consults biological sciences professor Judith Weis to learn more. Based at Rutgers University in Newark, Judith Weis is a Professor Emerita of Biological Sciences, with over 300 refereed scientific papers and marine biology books to her name. Particularly interested in stresses in estuaries and their effects on organisms, populations and communities, Judith Weis sits on the editorial board for BioScience and has been on the advisory committees for various boards. In this episode, Judith Weis reveals that the first laws involving microplastics forbade the use of them in cosmetics, and that currently, a major source of microplastics derives from the tiny fibres in synthetic clothing. She highlights that, while the broader ecological impacts of microplastics have not been clearly established, they have been found within human bodies. Together, Marie and Judith Weis weigh up various ways to reduce microplastic shedding during laundry without tossing our already-owned synthetic fabrics. So, tune in this week for expert insights on the best environmentally friendly laundry practices to exercise at home!
